Coco’s Cafe - Mt. Pleasant Restaurant Review
I’m admittedly a little biased against restaurants in strip malls. There is just something about those cookie-cutter neon signs that make me skeptical about the uniqueness and quality of the food. Still, every once in a while one of these inconspicuous eateries ends up being a nice surprise. Tucked away in the Harris Teeter / [...]
Amuse - West Ashley Restaurant Review
After repeatedly reading about how great Amuse is for the past couple years, my girlfriend and I decided to take advantage of the current deal they are offering (a rollback to 2004 menu prices) for a casual weeknight meal. So, we headed out to West Ashley in search of 1720 Sam Rittenberg.
I say “in search [...]
Great Restaurant Deals All Around Charleston
Stephanie Barna over at the City Paper’s Eat blog posted a great list of specials currently being offered by restaurants around the city. Sure the economy is bad, but if you’re the type to save up for a nice meal or two every month then Barna’s list will offer you some really great deals.
Here are [...]
Michael Symon’s Lola Restaurant in Cleveland - Out of Town Restaurant Report
I may complain about the weather and underperforming professional sports teams, but I still love Cleveland. I’ve been known to get a bit defensive when I hear anyone make fun of my hometown (only we’re allowed to do that!).
Unfortunately, Cleveland is a pretty frequent target. Our river caught on fire a few times 30 years [...]
Social Media Tips for Restaurants
If you’ve read my “About” page, you might remember that I’m planning on pursuing a career in public relations with a focus on the restaurant industry after I graduate. As an aspiring PR professional, it has become more and more important for me to be aware of major social media tools and how they can [...]
Slightly North of Broad (SNOB) - Charleston Restaurant Review
If you spend any amount of time browsing the “Best Restaurant in Charleston” threads on Chowhound.com’s “South” message board, you’ll notice how a few of the major names rise above the pack. While I’ve been lucky enough to dine at a few of them (e.g., McCrady’s, Charleston Grill, FIG), until last week I hadn’t had [...]
The Buccaneer Restaurant & Museum - Media Event Notes
Last Tuesday I had the opportunity to attend the media lunch for The Buccaneer, the newest restaurant from the people who brought us McCrady’s and Queen Anne’s Revenge.
The Buccaneer is occupying the Faber St. location that has been empty since City Bar shut down a couple years ago. The McCrady’s ownership group, never one to [...]
Alluette’s Cafe - Charleston Restaurant Review
I’ll admit it. I’m a little bit of a food elitist. I probably wouldn’t run a restaurant blog if I didn’t have a bit of that in me. I may live on a typical college student’s budget, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to settle for the mass produced, watered down culinary equivalent of a [...]
Virginia’s on King - Charleston Restaurant Review
When most visitors come to Charleston, they’re usually looking for two things when it comes to food, seafood and traditional home-style southern fare. This is the reason why Hyman’s and Jestine’s, two decidedly uninspiring restaurants, in my opinion, consistently have hour-and-a-half waits.
While anyone who has spent more than a few days in Charleston could point [...]
Trattoria Lucca - Charleston Restaurant Review
For as long as I’ve been interested in Charleston’s culinary scene, I have continually heard people rave about Sienna, Chef Ken Vedrinski’s Daniel Island standout. It has been on my “to-go” list for quite a while, but the 30-minute drive time and rather steep entrée prices have prevented me from ever actually making the trip.
Needless [...]
